Why do Germans get a unique name for their armed forces? Wehraboos? Actually better question, why didn't Germany get Article 9'd after the war? That's like one of the few good things the bastard MacArthur did.

Because Germans speak.. a different language? "Luftwaffe" is not a proper noun, it's German for "Air Forces."

So in English it would the German Airforce. Not the German Luftwaffe.

Would be like calling it the French Armée de l'Air.

Yep, pretty much. No reason to refer to it as such.
